Lightbulb For those wondering about the reliabilty of 3rd gen Rx7s...

1. Don't overboost (over 12#)

2. Don't overheat

3. use 93 octane

4. warm her up

5. cool her down

6. ensure adequate fuel

7. change oil every 2k miles

8. change plugs every 10k miles

9. do everything possible to keep her cool (ie rad, thermostat, fans, unclutter engine bay)

I'm sure there's more, but that's a good start

How many miles do you have on that engine?
